Tips for Dragon Dictation

Is there a time limit for dictation?

Dragon Dictation (FREE) version has a limit of 60 seconds audio recording with one press of the recording button. You can continue to dictate long emails or paragraphs in multiple steps without ever having to close the application. This time limit ensures accuracy & prompt responsiveness from the Dragon server system. We always recommend dictating many short sentences instead of a few long ones. In future versions we will reconsider this time limit.

Can I speak commands and punctuations when I dictate?

Yes. If you want to have punctuation in your dictation results, you can speak them by saying "comma", "period", etc. Some special symbols such as "$", "%" are automatically placed in context. You can also perform some basic text commands by speaking them; for example you can say "New Paragraph" to have a new paragraph in your dictation. Below is a list of commonly used commands and punctuations.
